New survey shows most Americans support delivery plan


USPS has released the results of a new survey showing 80 percent of Americans support the new six-day package, five-day mail delivery schedule.

The survey, conducted Feb. 8-11, shows consistently high support for the new schedule among urban, suburban and rural communities, as well as among all age groups and income levels. Support for the schedule rose to 85 percent among all respondents when asked whether they would back the new delivery schedule if it helped stabilize the financial situation of the Postal Service.

Earlier research indicated that nearly seven out of 10 Americans supported the switch to five-day mail delivery as a way for the Postal Service to reduce costs. Maintaining six-day package delivery has increased support for the new delivery schedule, according to the new survey results.

The survey, commissioned for the Postal Service, was completed by Ipsos, a leading independent market research company.
